Employment:
Worked at Rockwell International - Space Division, which engineered and
manufactured the Space Shuttle. Then we became part of Boeing when they
bought us out several years ago. I worked for 23 years before taking an
early retirement. I administered various employee suggestions, recognition
and award programs for many years before moving on into Engineering when I
transferred to the Anaheim, CA facility. I planned and executed astronaut
visits from Florida and Texas to the California divisions to greet all our
employees and present our top awards. Coordinated special week long trips
to Florida for selected award recipients (up to 50) and accompanied them to
watch Space Shuttle Launches and visit the Florida sites.
Hobbies:
Chris and I love driving cross country and we take an annual seven/eight
week trip, taking in sites and visiting family and friends along the way.
We also take frequent Cruises. Our love is also to spend a great deal of
time with our grandchildren and be an involved part of their lives. We also
enjoy collecting antiques.
